Week 7 - Feb 14, 16

This week starts the part of the course that deals with exploring the organization, and structure of the internet and the issues associated with moving data in a packet switched network. The section will explore ideas like bandwidth, latency, jitter, and packet loss. The section will also look at how lost packets are handled and ways to improve throughput.

Engage in activities to map/trace out the structure of the using things like ping, and traceroute. Also could have them do a reverse traceroute to try to determine if the forward and backward routes are the same or look for different routes to the same host. Should also be able to introduce notions of addressing and the association of IP addresses to interfaces as opposed to machines.

In this class we would look at measuring Bandwidth, latency, jitter and packet loss. This could be a mixture of calculations and exploration, data gathering activities. It might be interesting to have the students do a throughput calculation for a stop and wait protocol and then compare it to TCP.
